Alexey Kovsh to speak at CHIPS NORTH 2026   Alexey Kovsh will join industry leaders Chuck Mattera (founder of Avalanche Thinking and former Chair and CEO of Coherent Corp), Joe Costello (veteran tech executive and CEO of InPho), and Velko Tzolov (General Manager at the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre) for the opening session of the CHIPS NORTH 2026 Main Summit. The session, titled "Optocomputing: Beyond Silicon - From Electrons to Photons," will take place on May 5, 2026, at the Brookstreet Hotel in Ottawa.   The event will focus on the transition from electronic to photonic technologies in computing. As the demand for higher performance and energy efficiency intensifies, photonic solutions are emerging as critical alternatives to traditional electronic architectures. CHIPS NORTH is an annual forum that unites semiconductor industry leaders, government officials, and technology experts to address evolving challenges and shape the future of AI systems and next-generation computing platforms. Alexey will present our vision of when and how optical interconnects will begin to penetrate to scale-up networks within AI data center networks. He will also highlight a potential role of DFB lasers, comb-lasers, and WDM SOAs based on GaAs Quantum Dots. 🔗Register here: https://lnkd.in/gBWfjqST 🔗Explore the full program: https://lnkd.in/evR3_N6n #CHIPSNORTH #CanadaSemiconductor #Optocomputing
